You have to tear it out by the root, then you'll finally gain release. There's no quickfire way really, you just have to observe yourself and your reactions and examine your deepest beliefs until you get to the foundation of your thought process.

e.g. Are you afraid of hell because you're actually just scared of eternal pain? Are you sure this isn't just some garden variety anxiety transposed onto some grand narrative?

lmao, even simple stuff like breath meditation has been scientifically shown to alter brain structure.

You don't have to be some degenerate druggie to alter your mind. Hell, if it's not deeply rooted to the point of a mental disorder, it can be remedied by literally changing your thought process and going outside or some shit.

Source : literally had OCD, did 0 drugs, meditated daily for a few years and gradually removed the weird rituals and obsessive thought processes.

Protestantism has, to some extent, ruined the understanding of hell by turning it into a binary or default state which everyone reaches after death unless they make the "right" choices, they turned it into a problem where if you fail to meet "X, Y, or Z" standards then you're going to fall into Hell.

We cannot properly grade the "weight" of our sins, nor determine what is sin enough to damn someone. In Apostolic Christianity there's a strain of thought–of which I subscribe to–that Hell is a choice, you reach Hell when you willingly choose to sever yourself from God. It's more than just jerking off, it's more than–perhaps–even committing murder, it's severing one's connection to God by both willingly doing evil and removing God from your life.

In essence, I don't think the meek, anxiety ridden types, terrified of damnation, have that much to worry about. I believe Hell is reserved for those who walk into it confidently, who don't reflect on their actions, and who sneer at the good things in the world.

But as others have said, it's also highly likely that you have a generalized anxiety that you've added some grand narrative to.

You're asking the wrong question; Stirner's entire point was that you are the source of all value in the world, nothing has value unless you give it value, obviously you value not suffering. If you're asking for a book that will literally disprove religion then you're wasting your time because religion's entire point is that you can't disprove it even though you also can't prove it because this would require negative proof. As Christopher Hitchens assures us: "Anything asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence." This isn't proof but it's a good heuristic. Basing the evidence of something being true as being the inability to disprove it is a logical fallacy we refer to as an 'appeal to ignorance'.

The closest to despooking I can give you is this: https://skepticsannotatedbible.com/ ; This is a Bible study guide examined through a skeptic's perspective. No, this has nothing to do with fedora-tipping, the author even praises what he sees as good morals in certain sections. It helped me a lot when I got out of christianity, maybe it will help you too!

It's been a hell (pun) of a long time since I've read the Bible, but if you're still scared there may 2 escapes for you if you're unable to drop religion completely, from what I remember:

>escape from Hell

Even if god sends you to hell, you don't have to stay there. The Bible states that Satan leaves hell all the time to go influence mortals back here on Earth. Even if you don't have magic demon powers, you could spend the rest of eternity watching people live their lives. Imagine: an (after)lifetime of non-stop voyeurism.

>annihilation

If you ask god, you can request to be annihilated, which is when god destroys your soul. This is basically the same thing as the atheist's conception of death: lack of awareness. It's better than burning for all eternity though, right?

I hope you eventually realize these are all ancient spooks, and live your life right now to be meaningful, and full of love for your fellow human. I Love you, Anon!

I always thought if the god or gods arn't self intitled assholes who only want to be worshiped they will see that I am a good man and let me in heven, and if the only point of my existence is to worship him then that is a sad life and I wouldn't want to be in heven cause I would be forced to worship him more. This de-spooked me about after life.
